Get involved!

Want to have your say? If you are a young person in Australia aged 12 to 25 and you would like to engage with government on issues that are important to you then you are in the right place!

National Youth Survey!

Our National Youth Survey is now open! It aims to better understand:

  • what issues matter most to young people in Australia
  • how the government should include young people in decision-making.

Your feedback will help to shape Australian Government policies and programs and improve the way that government works with young people!

National Youth Consultations

We are running a series of national youth consultations to hear from you directly about issues that affect young people like you.

We want to know your thoughts on things like:

  • cost of living
  • mental and physical health
  • housing affordability and access
  • education and training.

Plus, any other big issues facing young people in your community.  

This is a really good opportunity to have your say directly with government.
